Rest Stop information
Could you either add rest stops, or allow us to report rest stops, as well as distance to the next one as reported/displayed?

Would be fantastic to have rest stops with all details ie toilets, no toilets, tables, food vans etc. Great for long journeys to allocate Rest stops along the way.

I'd like WAZE to have the option to display how far it is to the next rest stop so I know if I need to get off at the next exit and go to a gas station or go on to the nearest rest area. Going to a rest area always seems so much faster and easier.
Sometimes I'm driving a motor home and a rest area is just much easier to navigate than some gas stations or fast food restaurants.

So I'm curious as to why you have a Uservoice Forum but you don't seem to act on suggestions?
This was suggested almost eight years ago and still hasn't been integrated into the app.

also with the current pandemic local stores and restaurants are closed to customers who want to come, so when traveling sometimes the rest stop is the only place you can use a restroom

This would be great, having a standalone rest stop category with facility options (toilets, showers, undercover, etc) as well as any restrictions (truck only, car only, etc) could then be combined with an in app option to "Find nears rest stop, include X feature" or have an on screen indicator that shows the rest stop and its features on map.
Next to finding where to go ... finding somewhere to stop along the way can be equally important at times.

Itd be great in the settings under MAP DISPLAY to have an option to turn on/off a REST AREA ICON on your route maps. Then when you click on the rest area it will pop up with the exit number, a shortcut to add a stop on your route.
then also be able to rate the rest area for cleanliness, safety, parking, vending etc... -

Yes, please add road side parks/rest areas to the maps. I know they won't pay for advertising but this would be a great public service for people on road trips.

Depending on the country, doesn't have to be a fully-blown service area. On the German Autobahns, there are service areas or the so called parking areas which are just a place to pull over, sometimes with toilet, sometimes with nothing.
So please show something like:Shell Service Area (Burger King) ---- 7m
Parking (WC) -----14 m
Parking ------ 25 m
BP service Area ---- 35 m -

It would be great if Waze added a search button for rest stops & public restrooms like they already do for "coffee" and gas. This would be helpful for all commuters. Because if you did a survey, to determine the high percentage of gas stations and mini marts that have an "out of order" sign posted, you would be shocked.
And perhaps Waze users could drop a "pin" or flag a business that allows Waze users, access to their public restroom (including hours of operation to said accessible restroom. For instance my local STARBUCKS list it's hours of operations M-Sun, open till 1am. But only the drive through is open till 1am, the main establishment locks the doors to enter at 10pm.)
These suggestions are a win/win situation, providing free positive advertising, driving customers to their business and creating loyal clientele for said businesses who let Waze drivers use their restrooms!

Hi Waze community!
I have a few friends in the trans community and it really bothers me to see them struggle with basic necessities like using a public restroom. This would be a beneficial feature for app users to categorize what kind of bathrooms that any public buildings have (gas stations, restaurants, stores, etc) with just a bit more detail, that way people know where to go - without any hassle from the public with contrary views.
I'm not sure the best way to do it, especially as some waze users may not be keen on trans friendly bathrooms. So there would have to be emphasis on the 'neutral but informative' aspect of this feature.
Maybe when users do a search of a place where businesses are listed as having a restroom, there could be color code it or have a distinct icon that distinguishes what / where is what. For example,green: any gender welcome, non specific 'requirements', or just unisex bathroom-s.
red: gender specific requirements.
grey: neutral or unknown, the particular bathroom hasn't been categorized by a waze visitor or business yet.Or maybe even something as simple as users just listing whether public restrooms are unisex or not. Thank you for reading!
